I think he had a slight stoop, which was exaggerated by the comedians of the day. Wikipedia says:

Editorial cartoonists such as Herblock and comedians had fun exaggerating Nixon's appearance and mannerisms, to the point where the line between the human and the caricature version of him became increasingly blurred. He was often portrayed as a sullen loner, with unshaven jowls, slumped shoulders, and a furrowed, sweaty brow.

On a different note me auld china, what are you, Sara and Graham doing for Burns Night? Do you guys have any free time around the week of the 28th? The rota at work is incomplete as incompetence is the very beating heart of all government irrespective of level or size, but sod it, if you guys are free, I'll book a few days off on that week and come on up. Haggis and a holiday. Mmmmmmmm, recuperation.

Right, all booked off from the 28th. Now, you may notice that 28th is late for Burns night, but that's OK, the Roman calender is slightly inaccurate and over the years the date has slipped in my favour.

I'll probably set off some time Sunday. Probably stay with my bruv in Newcastle in the eve and continue up on Monday. But if the going's good I'll press on all the way up, or rather aw the way ap, on Sunday. Will keep you posted. What's your telephone number? Drop me an email if you like stealthyarmchair|hotmail|com.
